Having owned a dead reliable 79 Celica GT Liftback, this body style Celica has a special place in my heart.

For 10k you get an ugly 90-hp NA 4-cylinder early 80s hatchback with a horrible interior, black rubber battering rams, no cred or interesting connections, and will be mistaken for workaday Toyotas. Who cares about special edition? If this turd appreciates, I’ll be stunned.

$1.30 a pound. You can’t even get deli bologna for that price. Oscar Meyer on sale maybe. Neither one will be this yellow either. NP because sandwich math.

Because people don’t make rational decisions about cars. They make emotional ones. Also, that slightly higher ride height leads to a slightly higher seat height. Since, truth be told, people 40-60 are going to represent a big chunk of buyers for this car, having a seat that’s “hip height” is a pretty big selling…

I find the clean, honest lines of ‘80s cars to be refreshing today, in the time of insanity like the new Civic.

If you buy a truck and after one year it still looks brand new, you don’t need a truck.

This car blog is reporting on proposed policies that would directly affect the prices of many cars, and then devotes most of the article to giving examples of what that would look like. It couldn’t be more relevant. If you want cars totally in a vacuum, then you can read. . . uh, Speedhunters? That’s the only site…

MEXICANS CAN”T COME HERE AND PICK LETTUCE FOR 2 DOLLARS AN HOUR CUZ I DON”T WANT THEM TOO! NOW THERES NO WAY IN FUCK I”M DOING THAT JOB UNLESS YOU PAY ME 15 an HOUR AND EVEN THEN I PROBABLY WONT DO IT CUZ ITS LOTS OF WALKING AND OUTSIDE IN THE HEAT

Every point made is completely relevant in regards to car buyers. This is the bed that Trump is making and we all have to sleep in it now.

Exactly! Well put!

Agree with you. Exterior styling on many of their cars is as good as any other. ATS-V, CT6, mustang, these buicks - all great looking cars. Nobody notices, but they also perform, sometimes best in class.
